66 Sugar Cane Replanting Scheme Establishment of a credit revolving fund in support of sugar cane replanting.

Credit Component: Cumulative disbursement was $3.8mn, this amount inlcudes a first credit disbursement to La Inmaculada Credit Union. 66 farmers got their ratoon maintenance valued at $500 per acre. Given the slow disbursement of funds for replanting, the GOB is looking at possible ways to overcoming farmers'committment with commercial banks as the main reason why farmers withdraw their loan applications under the Sugar Replanting Scheme. Promotional Component: A promotion assignment which produced items including advertisements and videos with testimonials proved to be very successful and the PMU is looking into another promotion assignment. On July 28, 2014 the bank gave its no objection to hire a local consultant and to submit the TOR and budget for its no objection. M&E Component: Some challenges inclusive of, the need to lend 73% of the projected funds over the two remaining planting seasons still remain. Expenditure figure to be verified
